Breville coffee grinders. The company does not sell parts, and so 3D printing was necessary to bridge the gap when mine broke a few years back. It ended up being one of the small victories over entropy for me, and I wrote it all up on iFixit here[0]

- lopis 4y agoThen why would you recommend a device that breaks and the company offers no support for repairs?
- gottebp 4y agoWell, I do not. It is one of the most popular grinders on Amazon though. Many of us are already stuck with it!

When a small connection tab breaks, the whole thing is junk even though it still 'works' as 3d printing, glue, etc is usually not strong enough.
